Question

I have created an Android emulator (Android Virtual Device), but I am unable to find out the SD card I have built during creation of this.

Answer 1

I have used the following procedure.

Android Studio 3.4.1

Answer 2

1. switch to DDMS perspective
2. select the emulator in devices list, whose sdcard you want to explore.
3. open File Explorer tab on right hand side.
4. expand tree structure. mnt/sdcard/

To install apk manually: copy your apk to to sdk/platform-tools folder and run following command in the same folder

adb install apklocation.apk

Answer 3

DDMS is deprecated in android 3.0. "Device file explorer"can be used to browse files.

Answer 4

Drag & Drop

To install apk in avd, just manually drag and drop the apk file in the opened emulated device

The same if you want to copy a file to the sd card
